Door schedule for linked model gets the level from the linked model

[Anonymous]

When you have a linked model in your main model, the schedules reads the levels for doors and windows from the linked model instead of the host model, for example if you have a typical floor plan linked to your main model, the door and window schedules read all doors to be on only one level, which is the level from the linked model. We need to have them read from the host models levels. how can I do so?

Than you.

@Anonymoushello , when creating a door schedules, untick "include elements in links" only read your host model.. thanks

Sorry that is not what i mean
I do need the elements from linked models in the schedule
But i need them to read the level from the host mode
For example if you have a typical floor linked model, it reads the level of the doors as the ground floor although that linked model is located in the 3rd, fourth, fifth, sixth floors
Thank you for your reply though

@Anonymoushello, my apology. i dont think that is possible, its only read by levels. thanks.

Maybe rename the link instances to reflect the Level they are on and use Link Name to filter in your schedule.

Ok, bottom line, this can not be done. Unfortunately, the level is always read from the linked file, which means as mentioned before, the typical floors linked from one file will always have their doors on one level only in the schedule, which is the level from the linked files.

True.  But the whole idea of having the associated levels showing in schedule is to group or filter the doors, correct?  If so, it can be overcome easily.

Unfortunately, no.
Because when you have a typical floor for example starting from first to tenth and you use a linked model for a single floor and copy it in different levels each floor has for example 30 doors, it always reads all the levels as being on one level which means 30x10=300 doors on one level only and the other 9 levels have no doors at all.

We do it all the time.  Use RVT Link name to group your doors in the schedule.  Revit 2017 files attached.

What if it is the same link copied to multiple floors?what if the floor plan is mirroed and you use one link for half the plan and mirror it, if you want to use serial numbered doors, can you do it?
I really appreciate your replies. But i still can not figure a way out
Thank you very much, pkease keep replying 🙂

Did you look at the files I posted?  It is the same link copied to all levels.  Each instance of a link shall have its own name such.  I just renamed them to Level1, Level2, etc...

When you mirror a link you technically create a new instance with a new name.  So name them Level1 and Level1OH.  In such case, create a schedule for each level, filter by RVT Link Name contains Level1, then all and only doors belong to Level1 and Level1OH will be included.

I don't understand what serial numbered doors are.  Please clarify.

yes, i have seen them.

I now see the problem, I need to have a door schedule numbering all the doors in series, which means that if i have 30 doors per floor, each one of them has a different serial number, "Mark" not type mark.

so if i have a linked model for half of the plan, i'll have 15 doors number from 1 to 15 and the instances of the other half will have the same numbering 1 to 15, right?

instead i need all the 30 doors to be numbered 1 to 30.

but yes for the typical model i think your solution helps alot, thank you very much, really appreciate it.

Did you figure out to how to tag the door differently  when they are the same revit linked model?  when I tag these door they share the same door tag in different instances which I don't want.

Thanks.

When we have typical repeating doors at typical Unit types and floors (mostly for residential buildings) the doors get scheduled as typicals, Door A, Door B, Door C, etc.  The contractor would multiply this by 200 or so...

Never mind, I figured it out
